Wolverhampton, England, declining the call to
the pastorate of Plymouth Church, arrived this

ed expressly to settle the question
rs to whether Missouri OF Illinois
should get the road. The adoption
Of the west bank OF the river, was
mainly brought about by the labors
Of President Fordyce and Vice Pres
ident Kerens. The route on the
western bank of our great river, to
st. Louis is badly needed. After
the road is built from New Madrid
to St. Louis, the good work should
not stop there. 1t has but reached
the beginning ef the best timbered
and agricultural country IN the world
when it strikes New Madrid county.
The road should be continued south
through New Madrid and Pemiscot
counties in Missouri, and through
Mississippi and Crittcndcn counties,
in Arkansas, This southern branch
would run through the dnest timber,
and in greater abundance, than can
be found in any other state in the
Union. We think the advantage
offered by this route, will induce the
company to build the road"

As it was impossible to build
the town levee immediately on the

Last Sunday evening Osceola was
shocked At the announcement, which
rapidly spread throughout the com.
munity, that Mr.. John L. Driver was
dead! No one was prepared for the
announcement. In fact, since the
healing Of the bruises received some
time ago by being thrown from a
buggy, Mr., Driver had apparently
recovered from its effects, and was
fast regaining his usual robust health
and activity. All day Sunday, he
had been sitting in his room reading
tho newspapers. At two o'clock, he
ate . hearty dinner, after which he
received several of his friends, who
had called, entertaining them in a
cheerful manner. Later in the eve.
ming, he was taken sick at the stom.
ache, and began to vomit, when los.
ing muscular control he pitched for.
ward on his face to the floor. Jus,
At this juncture, the physician wht
was attending other members Of the
family, entered the room, and pick
ing him up, did all in his power t.
restore him, but to no avail. In two
or three minutes, the immortal spir.
it Of John l.. Driver had abandoned
its tenement Of clay. Hi. corpse
was followed to the grave by one o.
the largest funeral professions cve'
witnessed in Osccola, and was burise
with Masonic honors. His destl
leaves . void in the community
where he had so long resided.

what heavily taxed during the past
week in the attempts to do justice
to the memory of Lord Iddlesleigh.

has thought Of annexing Thsckeryir

Lord Iddlesleigh almost as If they

it to be gentleman9 Is 1t to have

Horse Department is worth many times its
subscription price - valuable, instructive,

have an immense amount of original matter
coming in Tor this department. and we eN-
pect to be able to give soon the history
and pedigree of the following famous hors-
es hitherto unknown Old Pilot, st. Law

American or Bullock Horse; Lady surrey, dam
of Henry Clay; Tom Thumb, g. 5. OF Green's
Bashaw; Leonidas reputed g. :. of Biggart's
Rather, and many others.
This is pre-eminently the kind of intorma-
ton that all gentlemen of intelligence desire,
and none such American can well afford to be
without this paper 1t is the American gentle
mans paper tor the history of the horse. In
all such information there is included much
local and general history. Indeed, the trac
ing OF some OF these pedigrees seems very
similar to Il romance, in which one sees not
only the animated bearing and noble action
of the horse, but also the life and beauty OF
the country through which he travels.
